Have you recently increased your display size, say from 100% to 125% or even higher?

not that i know of no.
I am going to try system restore..will update

 

[Anak]

Okay, I'm not sure if this applies to your situation, check it out: http://How to Reset Open and Save As Common Item Dialog Boxes to Default in Windows | www.tenforums.com/tutorials You might want to check those reg values manually.

 

[djpete]

ran the script but same. Actually it seems just for .zip files

 

[djpete]

definitely only for .zip files.
Thanks guys for the help

Are you using 7's native program to open/save zips or do you use a third-party program?

 

[djpete]

should be native but may have 7 zip somewhere too.
Yes have 7zip but has no association with .zip files in settings

 

[Anak]

Try associating 7zip to see if it gives you the save/as option again.
I hesitate to offer this, but at the bottom of the list here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html there is a restore zip reg file, if you try it backup your registry: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/4230-registry-backup-restore.html

I'm running out of ideas I may have to ask for more help.

 

[djpete]

no good either. When I go to file assoc in win t .zip ext is not there. That may be the issue

 

[djpete]

will try the restore file assoc u mention. I think that will fix it

 

[djpete]

mmm still same but what is happening is actually it is saving to desktop and then opening the file. So no save as or save window is coming up. Sorry for the confusion, just worked that out

 

[djpete]

if i right click the zip and choose save link as then it works how it should

 

[Anak]

That's okay, I'm going to ask for more help then I'm getting offline for the night, getting late for me I'll check back tomorrow.

Posts must of crossed, are you okay now, did you reboot after the merge?

 

[djpete]

no sorry same issue as last post. All I did was clarify what it is doing.. dloads the file and opens it without any save options.
I was using a chrome extension that disables the shelf but uninstalled that and even reinstalled Chrome also to try to fix.
Here is the plugin

also chrome has a completely new look and update, maybe a bug they missed..

Sorry I don't use Chrome. I have a couple of browsers similar to Chrome though.

Suggest: Check Chrome settings manager. In SlimJet there's a settings icon on the toolbar but also typing:

slimjet://settings

into the address bar then pressing Enter also opens settings manager.

Try:

chrome://settings

Then if it works tick "Show advanced settings"

Then check that you have not set your desktop as the default download location and tick "Ask where to save each file before downloading"

It's possible that the options are slightly different in Chrome.
